Prayers Please!!!!

sorry it has been so long since i have last blogged. It has been a crazy roller coaster of a ride these past couple of weeks/ days!! The past couple of weeks Logan was diagnosed with MRSA in his ears. Which he got from having tubes put into his ears! It has a very strong resistance against most antibiotics and is extremely hard to get rid of.
Well sometime last week these spots/sores started popping up all over Logan. At first I thought it could be Chicken Pox because they had an out break at his daycare,

These were ALL over his body!
but after having Christopher and my Dad look at them, they thought that it could have been flea bites from when we had dog sat my parents dog. Took him to the doctor to have them looked at, and the Dr. seemed to have agreed that is what is was. So she gave us a cream and told us to rub it all over his body and they should go away within a couple of days... didnt work.! So last night, i noticed that he was having trouble sitting down and only wanted to be held. When i went to go and give him a bath he wouldnt sit in the water, and just laid on his belly! That's when i saw this HUGE knot on his bottom. I figured he had just fell and maybe bruised it somehow. Well afterwards i was rubbing lotion on him when i accidentally scrached one of the sores on his back and while he screamed to the top of his lungs i noticed that all of this puss was coming out, i mean more than you could ever believe. (Sorry if that grossed anyone out). I put peroxide on it and then he immediately fell asleep. Well this morning he had a little fever, but I gave him some Tylenol and figured he was okay to go to daycare. As soon as I got to work i get a phone call from his daycare saying that the knot on his bottom has turned into a huge sore like the ones all over his body, and she mentions that maybe it is the MRSA. So of course I freak. I called Christopher, and couldnt get in touch with him, so i call my mom (Who is AMAZING by the way) and she went to pick him up and took him to the doctor for me. They confirm that it is MRSA and said that they will be getting in touch with the infectious disease doctor, and seeing what they think we should do next. She did mention that he might have to be put in the hospital for this. So that is where we are as of right now.... my poor baby boy :( I hate that all of this is happening to him. I would take the pain in a heart beat if i could. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE pray for our family and especially Logan. MRSA is not an infection that you want to play around with, like I mentioned in a blog before my grandma had it before she died and it was just horrible. I posted a picture below of what it looks like now, and for people that have a weak stomach please dont look. But I want you guys to know how bad this truly is, and how bad it can get. I will keep everyone updated. Thank you so much for all of your thoughts and prayers!

  3. So I just read your last several blog posts to update myself and again I am so sorry for Logan to have to go through all this and know that you all are in my prayers so often. I just thought about the story of Job and remembered the saying how sweet our praise is to God in the midst of a storm like this. I love you and I wish I could do something to help out with Logan but feel like I shouldn't even be close to him being pregnant (especially since I’ve had mrsa before in the past). Makes me sad. Give him a hug for me and know that Matt and I love you all! :-)
